yarrick Posted August 6, 2000 Share Posted August 6, 2000 Hello guys! I'm thinking of changing the menu music in CM, so instead of the old tune I want some basic military march to replace it. Now, does anyone know some decent march music? NOT the kind of "bombastic" march music with trumpets, trombones, strings and stuff though! Just the simple kind of march with a plain drum (and maybe a fife(?) thrown in). Any help is greatly appreciated! CM is a very fine game btw!

Guest Mirage2k Posted August 6, 2000 Share Posted August 6, 2000 Well, to be blatantly obvious about it, I'll be the first one to suggest Sousa. Oops...I just realized Sousa would be considered "bombastic." Sorry. -Andrew ------------------ Throw me a frickin' smiley, people! Your one-stop-shop for gaming news is www.SiegersPost.com ! Hit it!

Ben Hur Posted August 6, 2000 Share Posted August 6, 2000 Well, most marches are going to have brass and/or woodwinds (not just fifes) unless you're going for a revolutionary war era march. Now, you have many, many national marches at your disposal. German marches tended to be rather (heroic" sounding, emphasizing percussion, woodwinds and low brass. British marches were rather slow and dignified (slow meaning a tempo of 108 beats per minute).... you'll be hard pressed to beat a nice british march... after all, thats were the comunity band reigns supreme. Any march by Kenneth Alford would be appropriate. American marches tend to be fast, exciting and rather bombastic (fast being 120 beats per minute). Just figure out what type ofm atmosphere youre looking for. Hope this gives you some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
